ModyWorks

Established in 2008, ModyWorks was originally conceived in New York as a vehicle for a series of 12-inch records by mutant pop singer Almamy. The label’s debut was a twin EPs project, The Sexy Boy EP /... B.M.D. and The Sexy Boy EP /... L.Y.D. It was followed by Almamy’s single “Like You Do,“ featuring remixes by rising and veteran DJ/producers such as Italian duo En Masse, BeTrash’s Ben & Nouch and fabled wizard-in-chief Seelenluft, before the idiosyncratic singer issued the Don’t Ask Me/French Kiss two-tracker. Growing from a one-artist bedroom operation into a creative hot house with ongoing commitment to freewheelers, sonic exploration and the avant-garde, ModyWorks has been home to beatsmith Aman Ellis and his discofied project AIMES, the twisted electro musings of Beetnik, F.r.a.c.t.a.l’s noise, pop auteur extraordinaire JMI, Matthew Finch’s lo-fi ai, and the abstract speed of the slashsound label—founded by Adam Cuthbért and Daniel Rhode as a haven for composers, producers and A/V artists with a bent for virgin territories. Now based in Los Angeles, ModyWorks Ltd. acts as an umbrella for ModyWorks Recording Company, music publishers Worksbymody (US) and Threefiveeight (UK), and as a production outfit championing the works of visual storytellers as exploratory as their maverick musical counterparts. ModyWorks is distributed by The Orchard.
